Promotion clutch HELP!!!!!

What did you order from them? When I ordered from them I got the 650 kit.
I ordered the 650hp. I got a BLUE pressure plate, shim, and disc. I installed everything drove around like a granny for 500 miles... then when I finaly got on it. The damn thing was slipping. I'm thinking I got the wrong PP-clutch disc combo. My understanding is the "blue printed Hi-clamp PP" doesn't use a shim. On there website the 650 hp is grey and has a shim the 750hp is blue without a shim.
I got the BLUE pressure plate too... I haven't had any issues, and I am launching at 5500 on slicks without even the slightest slip. Just wondering, but what kind of flywheel are you running? New or resurfaced? See where I am going with this? The guys at Promotion are awesome... I would give them a call and they will get you straightened out for sure.
Well my 650 kit will be here tomorrow. I will let you know what comes in the box. But give Wally a call he should be able to help you out.

I'm def going to call em. I'm not saing its a bad clutch I just think I have the wrong PP. I have got a blue one and not knowing there was a difference, I installed it with the shim. I pulled it back out and sat it next to the factory one, they are NOT the same. I was just wondering what did you guys order and what color was it? Also did you shim it?
Did yours come with a shim? Did you use it? I sent my flywheel to Mcload they put a new ring in it.

When I ordered my clutch the other day, Wally told me the shim was for a thicker disk.
from what I have seen, I can't even find an 11" clutch rated at 550. the stock clutch is rated at 520 they said. So maybe they put something together for you that isn't on their site? I can't imagine you went with a 10.5"

Got my Promotion 650HP clutch kit today. Here are the main parts:
Flywheel side of disc:
Hope this helps. Also the tag says if the stock clutch disc is used, no shim is needed.

It's a 26 spline 11" kustom clutch. Your right I don't think mine is on there site.
so have you talked to them yet, to see if they sent you the wrong piece, and so you could explain to them what was/is going on?
Ok here is what Promotion and I have come up with. The Plate I got is right although they are normally gray. The problem, I cleaned the surface of the pressure plate but didn't get all the grease off the sides of the ring. The grease worked its way on to PP. there for the disc could never seat properly. It warped the PP. Wally said he would sell me another at discounted price Monday. So MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETELY CLEAN ALL OF PRESSURE PLATE DURING INSTALL!!!
Here you go. My PP has a thin coating of somthing on the face of the plate that I am sure is just to protect it during storage and shipping and is to be cleaned off right before install.
But on the inside, on the edge, there is some grease that looks like it is supposed to be there for lubrication? Does this have to come off too? Pic:

Also, mine is a 10 Spline Kustom Disc.
